Why Expertise Can Narrow Vision

Experience is powerful, but it can also create assumptions. Beginners ask obvious questions that experts forget to revisit.

Practicing Beginner’s Mind

• Ask basic questions without embarrassment.
• Look at familiar problems as if seeing them for the first time.
• Notice where expertise has become automatic.

Curiosity Restores Possibility

Thinking like a beginner does not mean ignoring knowledge. It means staying open enough to keep discovering.
